This move: 42.1 of 100 · moderate

1 Share of the carpenter supervisor role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the carpenter profile. Required skills count in full, supplementary skills at 0.35. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. 2 Combines what is missing with how specialised it is, so a gap of general skills scores easier than the same number of narrow ones.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 42 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A carpenter supervisor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a carpenter background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held keep track of wooden elements handling and moving
  • already held install wood hardware constructing
  • already held operate band saw working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held operate crosscut saw handling and moving
  • already held operate table saw working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held operate wood router working with machinery and specialised equipment

All 42 carried skills, including the 16 the carpenter supervisor role treats as required.

Note

How this record was compiled

Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
